Hi, I'm new to this site, so basically, I'm 24 years old and used to suffer from acne when I was younger but it pretty much cleared up from the age of 15,16. I get an odd spot here and there but nothing like I had before touchwood. Anyway it's only the temple areas that I have the scarring, and so far I've tried dermastamping and have done it for about 9months so 1 treatment every six weeks within those 9 months. I feel like it has gotten a bit better alongside it I use a vitamin c serum that contains Rosehip oil, Argan, sea buckthorn and hyaluronic acid, all of which I've heard are quite good for the skin in helping it to produce collagen and with elasticity but I was wondering whether there were any other treatments that anyone would recommend, also my ethnicity is Asian so I've heard that lasers may not always be suitable? And also whether someone could tell what type of scarring I have? I will include pictures aswell, I would really appreciate it if someone could help me thank you.

Oh right thanks for clearing that up, also do you know rough prices for both punch excision and subcision in the uk? And maybe where in the uk I could go? I've tried to research on the procedures but not all places offer it, I tried the place I currently do my genuine dermastamping at but they don't do it. Would you also happen to know the downtime that maybe expected with this type of procedure?

Scar excision with a scalpel and microneedling should help achieve the results you are looking for. Good luck :)
